Menus

Had some friends round for dinner last night, was a fun night, and a good excuse to do some cooking.

We had chicken breast crumbed in fresh breadcrumbs (I had bought multigrain bread so we had to do it with that instead of white bread, but it still worked out nicely) with parmesan, lemon zest, freshly cracked pepper and thyme mixed through the crumbs. We also dipped the chicken in lemon juice instead of egg before crumbing it - so it was nice and lemony! This was accompanied by a herb and mushroom risotto as well as a marinated fig, goat's cheese, proscuitto and rocket salad. All of this was followed by dessert - chocolate lava cake (essentially little individual sized self saucing puddings where the sauce is in the centre and when you cut into the top of the cake the sauce pours out over the sides) accompanied by home made blood orange and rosemary sorbet.

Was a fun night where we got to try out a few new recipes, and I enjoyed them all as well as the wonderful company of my friends!
